“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review for Bright Star Academy

Bright Star Academy has been a wonderful experience for our family! My son learned so much during his time there — not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well. The teachers are caring, patient, and truly dedicated to the children. I was so impressed with the program that I’ve now enrolled my youngest daughter too!

The staff communicates well with parents, keeps us informed, and always makes safety a top priority. It’s such a comforting feeling to know my kids are in a nurturing and secure environment. I’m beyond grateful for everything Bright Star has done for my children. I highly recommend them to any parent looking for a quality preschool!”

“We had such a wonderful experience at Little Achievers ! From the very first day, the teachers made my boys feel welcome . The staff go above and beyond to communicate with parents. We’re so grateful for everything they’ve done for my boys .”

“After looking at several daycares in the surrounding area, I am so glad we chose TLE! It is so evident that the teachers truly care about my son and each child in the classroom. It makes me very happy to drop my child off and see how happy he is to see his teachers and friends. I would highly recommend the learning experience!”

“Play N Learn was where both my children went to when they were younger… they are now 7 and 9 and ask to go back every chance they get. They love it! We love it! The teachers are great, they really care about the children. They update you daily on their activities which gives you a piece of mind while working. Their hours are working parent friendly which is great for the working parents. Kids come home with projects and always have awesome stories to share. Honestly, you feel like part of the family at Play N Learn. We love all the staff! We appreciate everything they did from potty training to the extra snuggles. If there is a place you can trust your children with its here. Stop searching, you found a forever family.”

“TLE Cedar Grove has been incredible for our family and have been crucial to the development of our 4 year old child. Our son has made so many friends and learned so much from all of his teachers ever since he was a 1 year old. We will forever be grateful to the staff for helping my wife and I navigate parenthood. Thank you TLE!”

“I can't recommend highly enough Learning Ladders as one of the best day care centers in the Jersey City area. My children have been attending this daycare for over two years now and have far exceeded my expectations for learning and social development. The teachers are wonderful and provide an extremely stimulative learning environment for the children to prosper in my view. Additionally, the added community support from other parents has been phenomenal. This place is worth an inquiry for children 5 years or younger of age.”

“A great first daycare experience for the little one, and could not ask for better support - from the admin team to the infant program under Ms.M's lead, the little boy is well fed, rested and entertained.”

“We had such a wonderful experience with TLE in Battery Park, and feel so grateful for the care my son received during his time there. The admin staff is exceptional - always responsive, and genuinely invested in making the experience smoother. The care and support my son received was also commendable- the staff truly care about the children. Highly recommend TLE for any family looking for a high quality, supportive and warm environment!”

“We recently moved to the area and were overwhelmed by the school search. After touring numerous schools, Playhouse felt like a warm hug, putting our worries at ease that this would be the perfect school for our son. As the year has gone by, we have been blown away by the progress he has made, both emotionally and mentally, and how happy he is when he comes home each day. The whole staff is loving, supportive and super communicative, as well as the community of parents who are incredibly involved and reliable. We couldn’t ask for more in a school and would 1000% recommend.”

“It’s truly hard to let go of Preschool Learn Time, as it has been such a wonderful experience for my son, who has been part of the school since he was almost 3 yrs old. I am so grateful to Ms. Pavana and the wonderful teachers that welcomed him from day one and cared for him with so much love and attention. This place has meant so much to my family.
Thank you for all the love, care, and dedication you and your team have given my son over the years. We will truly miss it.”

“We are so grateful for Marigold Academy and everything they have done for our daughter. Our daughter attended two different daycares before we found Marigold, and the difference was truly noticeable from the beginning. The love, care, and sense of community she found here has no price.

The teachers and staff genuinely care about the children and create such a warm, safe, and happy environment. A very special thank you to Miss Dolly, who is an amazing director and truly loves what she does. Her dedication and kindness can be felt throughout the entire school.

Thank you for giving our daughter such beautiful memories and making her feel so loved every day. We now say good bye but we will truly miss this place.”

“As a mother, there is nothing more powerful than trust, and this daycare has earned mine completely. I go to work knowing my baby is not only safe, but loved, stimulated, and nurtured in a way that supports his growth and happiness. That kind of peace of mind is priceless. This isn’t just childcare—it’s a community, a support system, and a place where little lives are cherished every single day.”

“We’ve had an amazing experience at this daycare. The nursery teacher, Ms. Sue is truly outstanding! She is nurturing, caring, and incredibly attentive. Our son absolutely loves her, and it’s clear she makes a positive impact on him every day! When he transitioned to the toddler room, the process was seamless, and any minor concerns we had were addressed immediately. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care and attention he receives here! We’re also incredibly grateful for the daycare director Ms. Lori, who is just as amazing. Their dedication and responsiveness truly set this daycare apart.”

“Fantastic experience for our kids. We have two boys at this Goddard School, for about 3 years now. We have loved the teachers and staff. They do so much programming for the kids, they are so sweet and we trust them entirely. We love being a part of their school and highly recommend them to anyone.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Park Street Academy! The teachers were kind and caring, and the summer camp is wonderful. Ms. Alexa, who runs it, cares so much about making it a good experience.”

“We are very grateful for Adrianna! She has been watching our daughter, and we couldn't ask for a better caregiver.
Our daughter lights up every single morning when we drop her off. She is incredibly patient, kind, and always has a bright energy in the classroom.”

“My son has been attending this daycare for the past 5 years, and I can honestly say it has been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made for him. From his very first day, the staff has treated him like family—always showing patience, kindness, and genuine care.

Over the years, I’ve watched him grow in confidence, social skills, and learning. The teachers go above and beyond to make sure every child feels safe, loved, and supported. They provide fun, educational activities that keep the kids engaged, while also teaching important life skills.

Communication has always been excellent—they keep me informed about his progress, daily activities, and any concerns. I’ve always felt confident dropping him off each day knowing he’s in a nurturing, positive environment.

We are so grateful for all the love, guidance, and dedication the staff has shown over the years. This daycare has truly been like a second home for my son, and we will always be thankful for the role they’ve played in his growth and happiness.

Thank you to EVERYONE”

“We love the school! The staff and teachers are amazing. We love how creative the school is with engaging the kids and the parents. We would choose this school all over again if wr had to.”

“My 2 children have attended since they were very small, and I truly couldn’t be happier with our experience. The staff has always treated my kids with nothing but care, kindness, and respect—they really treat them like family. I’ve watched my children grow, learn, and feel safe here, and that means everything to me as a parent. I would absolutely recommend Academy House to any family looking for a loving and supportive environment for their children.”

“We enrolled our daughter at Kiddie Academy this year, and so far the experience has been wonderful! The teachers are warm, caring, and truly attentive to each child’s needs. They have a nice curriculum where she’s learning through play, music, and creative activities. The biggest plus for us is the live surveillance and on-site meal prep which gives us peace of mind. The facility is clean, secure, and well-equipped. Her teachers Ms. Paula and Yarelin are just amazing. My daughter lights up as soon as she sees them. Ms. Paula remembers ever child's personal items which shows such great attention to detail.
Special mention of course is the site director Ms Ronnie. She is such a positive person. Always smiling and welcoming. She is willing to help and put our mind to ease whenever our daughter needs some extra love or attention some days. Overall, its been a wonderful experience!”

“If you are looking for PEACE OF MIND in a preschool/ daycare for your child/children, look no further than RMS Bloomfield. As two full-time working, parents, my husband and I are thrilled and extremely satisfied with the care our children are receiving here for the past soon to be 3 years. They provide an ultra safe, clean, fun and engaging environment and we truly feel that our children are being loved in our place during the day! Not to mention, compared to others-it is reasonably priced. We so appreciate the teachers and staff and feel very grateful to have them as part of our family’s community (and lives). I’ll tell anyone who’ll listen- we love Rainbow Montessori.”

“I honestly don’t know how to fully express how grateful I am for The Learning Experience Bay Ridge. From the very first day, they made me feel like my child was not just another student, but truly cared for like family. Every morning when I drop my son off at school, I feel peace in my heart knowing he is in a safe, loving, and supportive environment.

My son absolutely loves his teachers, and to me, that says everything. Children naturally show when they feel happy, safe, and loved, and my son is always excited to go to school. Seeing his growth, happiness, and progress has been such a blessing for me as a mother.

One of the things I appreciate the most is the communication. The staff always keeps me updated about my son’s progress, the things he is improving on, and even the areas where he may need extra support. As a parent, that level of care means the world to me. I also love being able to check the app throughout the day to see pictures, meals, naps, and updates. It gives me so much comfort and reassurance while I’m away from him.

A very special thank you to Ms. Ronnie. I truly cannot thank you enough for everything you have done for my child and for me as a parent. Your guidance and support helped me understand the evaluation process my son needed, and without your help, I honestly would not have known where to start. Thank you for caring so deeply and for always being so patient, kind, and supportive.

The Learning Experience has truly been a blessing for my family. Finding a place where your child is genuinely loved, protected, and encouraged to grow is something every parent hopes for, and TLE Bay Ridge has been exactly that for us.

I would recommend The Learning Experience Bay Ridge to any parent looking for a place where their child will be safe, happy, loved, and truly cared for. ❤️

Thank you, TLE Bay Ridge, for everything you do every single day. ❤️”

“After we did our research we felt led to allow my niece to attend Brainiacs! Ms. Cole who teaches the Pre-k 4 year old class is wonderful! My niece is excelling in penmanship, word association & other social skills. We are very pleased with her progress. We look forward to getting daily pictures & updates of her school day. Ms. Jennifer is also wonderful.”

“Highly recommend.
The French American Academy has been an incredible experience for our bilingual family. The teachers are caring, the community is welcoming, and our children are thriving academically and emotionally. We couldn’t be happier.”

“As both a mom and an educator, I can’t say enough wonderful things about Ms. Alba and Ms. Jasmine at The Learning Experience in Hoboken. My almost two-year-old son is in their class, and it truly warms my heart to see the love, patience, and genuine care they show him every single day.

They create such a nurturing, engaging environment where he feels safe, happy, and excited to learn. It’s clear they take the time to understand each child individually, and that kind of attention means everything. We drop him off each morning knowing he’s in incredibly good hands, which is priceless.

We’re so grateful for everything they do!”
